Rebuilding All Your Movable Type Blogs In One Go

By Maarten Schenk on March 8, 2010 9:20 PM | 2 Comments | No TrackBacks |
Nothing is more tedious in Movable Type than to have to manually rebuild all the blogs in your installation one by one after you have modified some crucial system-level template module that is used everywhere.  It is not fun if you have a few dozen blogs, and it gets positively annoying if you have more than a hundred, something that is not uncommon on an intranet or with an MT-powered blogging service.
Nick from the awesome MTJ recently posted an article about this plugin: QuickRebuild.  It is totally and utterly great, and I'm not saying this because this plugin saved me several hours of tedious clicking today (well, actually I am).

Basically the plugin adds an extra 'rebuild' icon to your menu bar that gives you the option to rebuild all your blogs in one go (or just a subselection of them).  You can download it here.

Oh, and the documentation is lying: it does work with MT5, which makes it even better.

Point to note. The plugin builds only entries; it does not rebuild pages.
